RY MEsNE ASSIGN- ADVERTrsING CARD.

Application filed November 2.0, 1924. Serial No. 751,111.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN YV. ODIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'Worcesteig in thecounty of Torcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Advertising Card, of which the following is a specification.

The principal object of this invention is to'provide an advertising card that can be carried and delivered in a flat condition so that it will not be bulky and will have mounted thereon a sample of the goods; and also to provide a means for atta-ching the sample in what seems to be the most simple, practical and inexpensive manner possible. The card also is of such a nature as to protect any projecting orrcut edgesor points on the article so that they will not catch in the pockets or clothing.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings; in which e Fig. 1 is an inside view of the card laid out flat without the advertised article;

Fig. 2 is a similar view of the inside of the card showing the article that is being advertised in its position thereon;

Fig. 3 is an end view of the complete article folded up as it is transported and packed; and

Fig. 4 is an outside view.

The card itself consists of a. sheet 10 of paper or cardboard of any desired thickness provided with a longitudinal fold 11 at the center. This constitutes a folder which can have advertising or directions on all four of its pages, as indicated. The card is provided with two perforations 12 lying in the fold. These perforations can con- Y veniently be small circular holes but are made of such size and shape as is necessitated by the article to be employed in the folder.

The article to be advertised may be of any kind so long as it is iiat or substantially so. In the present case Ijhave shown a piece 14 cut from a wire fence for the purpose of exhibiting and advertising la fence of a particular character. This fence has either at the top or bottom a straight margin wire 15. This is cut off to a length greater than the distance between the two holes 12 and inserted in the holes from the interior so as to project at the rear. The rest 0f the wire 14, of course, is thus anchored in position in the folder to which it is pivoted and this furnishes a most easy and convenient way `of exhibiting the goods. There the ends of the wire 15 project through the holes at the rear `they will lie along the outside of the folder 1() and constitute no projections that are likely to cause trouble in the use and exhibition of the sample. The article sets -into the crease when the folder is folded'so tion with the sample where they are promivnently displayed so that the advertisingv is at its full eiiiciency even 1f the sample lies around an office a long time. Furthermore, the fact that the sample lies fiat on the card can be taken advantage of to directly point out the good points of the article, as is indicated by a line of lettering 17 which can be used to point out some feature about the article located at the same point as the lettering. Y

Although I have illustrated and described only a single form ofthe invention, I am aware of the fact that modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the TRUSTEE, 0E 'Y invent-ion as expressed in the claims'. Therey f' 'folder and provided with two perforations 'therethrough along the line of said fold spaced widely apart, and adapted to have an article tobe advertised having a pair of oppositely projecting points extending through said perforati'onsjin opposite directions andin alignment with each other,

whereby the article is pivotally mounted on' the folder.

As an article of manufacture, an advertising card consisting of a piece of sheet material folded to form a simple folder and provided with perforations therethrough in through the fold and adapted to have an the fold spaced Vwidely apart7 and adapted article to be advertised secured to the card to have a flat artiole of Wire to he advertised by passing through said perforations, the having a pair of oppositely projecting` folder having advertising matter on the 5 points extendingthrough said perforations several pages relating to the article held 15 in opposite directions and in alignment with thereon. c each other7 Wherehy the article is pivotally In testimony whereof' I have hereunto mounted on the folder. aflixed my signature.
